The binder serves as the guarantor of the bonding strength between the abrasive grains and the substrate. With the advancement of the chemical industry, various novel binders have entered the field of coated abrasives, thereby enhancing their performance and fostering the development of the coated abrasives industry. In addition to the adhesive material itself, binders comprise various auxiliary components, such as solvents, curing agents, toughening agents, preservatives, coloring agents, and defoaming agents. Beyond the most commonly used animal glues, the category of binders also encompasses synthetic resins, rubber, and paints.
These are substances added to a powder-either to enhance the strength of the green compact or to prevent powder segregation-that can be removed either prior to or during the sintering process.
